I do my jigging off docks and along walls, since I don't have a boat.
I use a 2' and a 4' ice rod with a very fast tip and an Eagle Claw inline ice reel that has both a drag and free spool. You can't cast this setup and it works just fine for jigging from a stable platform, and you can get right in tight with it, too; so I can work the edge of the dock shadow or tight along a shadowing wall. When the line, the jig head and the tail are balanced that gives the sweetest float down. Just like on the ice I do not want the jig to spin, and so the inline ice reel works very well and runs maybe $30. They didn't put out the fishing docks here on the Minneapolis Park lakes this year; so my jigging isn't happening much this summer.
